RunCore is producing two mSATA SSDs these days, one a SATA II model and the one we are looking at today, a SATA III unit. The RunCore RCP-V-T50 uses a SandForce SF-2281 controller and pairs it with 25nm IMFT MLC flash. At this time there are very few SATA III mSATA ports in production machines, but that will change soon. Intel has already told us that in 2012 at least 60 new ultrabook designs will come to market. Of that sixty, several will feature an mSATA interface and most will support SATA III speeds.
Each game that came out featured new graphical abilities, such as colored lighting, shadowing systems, bigger levels, A.I. - the list is virtually endless. Tablets and smartphones have gotten to the point where they are comparable to basic PCs now, with quad-core tablets hitting shelves just before Christmas. Where does this leave the desktop PC gaming market?

Ah, the holiday season is coming to a close. The gifts have been bought and distributed, and you find yourself with extra cash leftover. You want to put this money towards upgrading your computer, but cannot decide what to upgrade. My answer to this conundrum, as it is for many others, is to invest in a solid state drive. As chance may have it, in fact, our report today will focus on the newly released Seagate Momentus XT 750GB Hybrid SSD which just might be a great place to start.

I don't know about you, but more often than not, when I hear a person's name before seeing them, my brain would generate a mental image of them of what they might look like. To make sure I am not crazy or anything, I went around and asked a few of my friends, and it turns out I am not the only one. For example, if you mention the name "Jonathan Kwan", a picture of an intelligent, sharp, and good looking young man comes to mind. Jokes aside, let's imagine for a moment that, right after you have heard a person's name, you meet him or her, and they look nothing like you have visualized. Awkward. As you can see, a product's name is very important, just like a person's name. It does not matter whether it is good or not in practice -- what it is called already leaves a strong first impression. Earlier this year, we have reviewed the Patriot Supersonic Magnum 64GB USB 3.0 flash drive. It sounds really fast, because, well, it is. Today, we have a new challenger to the ring. It is called the Kingston DataTraveler HyperX 3.0. DataTraveler is Kingston's brand for their USB flash drives, and for me, it leaves an impression of an honestly reliable, business type product that is not very fast. HyperX is Kingston's brand originally developed for their RAM, but has recently expanded to other products like solid state drives. My impression of the HyperX brand has always been a signature of elite performance and quality, as mentioned in my HyperX Grey DDR3-1600 review back in June. So what makes the Kingston DataTraveler HyperX 3.0 64GB USB 3.0 flash drive? Is it a combination of the best of both worlds, fusing together cutting edge performance and honest-to-earth reliability? Read on to find out!

This SSD report is our first of the New Year and examines the Super Talent Tera Nova 120GB SATA 3 SSD that was announced this past December. The Tera Nova is touted by Super Talent as being their fastest yet and aimed at the Pro/enthusiast market with new SandForce ‘optimized’ firmware. This firmware (334ABBF0) provides for better boot times and responsiveness as well as enhanced reliability and data protection in the event of power loss.

The DS212 NAS Server from Synology is a feature rich product with good performances, which integrates their own DSM (DiskStation Manager), really easy to use, with applications like Audio Station, Photo Station, Download Station and can be used as a mail server, to host websites and more. The enclosure is actively cooled and the HDDs can be easily removed from inside the product by pulling out the trays (however, the HDD installation is not screwless, the disks needing screws to be mounted onto the trays).

Today we're not looking at a product for aviation or gunships, but the build quality of the RunCore Pro V SATA III looks the part. The Pro V SATA III is controlled by a SandForce SF-2281 controller and uses asynchronous flash for data storage. In an era when other companies have moved to plastic housings, RunCore has kept an aluminum drive case for robust construction and added visual appeal in systems with windows or displayed drive bays.

Um große Datenmengen, wie z.B. Images des heimischen Computers, transportieren oder extern lagern zu können, musste man vor einiger Zeit noch auf Festplatten zurückgreifen. USB-Sticks waren waren meist zu langsam und vor allem auch zu teuer, wenn es um hohe Kapazitäten ging. Mit der Einführung von USB3.0 und dem anhaltenden Preisverfall bei Flash-Bausteinen kommen aber immer mehr USB-Sticks mit hohen Kapazitäten zu einem relativ günstigen Preis auf den Markt. Vor einiger Zeit stellten wir bereits erste Vertreter vor, welche auf die USB3.0-Schnittstelle setzen. In unserem heutigen Vergleich konzentrieren wir uns nur auf USB-Sticks, welche die neue Schnittstelle nutzen und schauen, wie sich diese untereinander unterscheiden. Dazu haben wir insgesamt fünf der Speichersticks von Adata, Kingston und Silicon Power mit Kapazitäten von 16 und 64 Gigabyte auf den Zahn gefühlt. Was bei unseren Tests herauskam, erfahrt ihr auf den folgenden Seiten.
